Chris Botti

In one of the first non-Minnesota Orchestra concerts at the remodeled Orchestra Hall, popular trumpeter Chris Botti returns with his eight-piece ensemble, including vocalists Sy Smith and George Komsky. The well-traveled, best-selling Botti, who has played with everyone from Sting to Sinatra, collected his first Grammy this year, for best instrumental pop album for “Impressions.” It is a classical crossover collection with a taste of pop songs, featuring the vocals of Vince Gill and Mark Knopfler.
